When setting a syscall catchpoint by name, catch syscalls whose name or alias matches the requested string. When the ABI of a system call is changed in the FreeBSD kernel, this is implemented by leaving a compatibility system call using the old ABI at the existing "slot" and allocating a new system call for the version using the new ABI. For example, new fields were added to the 'struct kevent' used by the kevent() system call in FreeBSD 12. The previous kevent() system call in FreeBSD 12 kernels is now called freebsd11_kevent() and is still used by older binaries compiled against the older ABI. The freebsd11_kevent() system call can be tagged with an "alias" attribute of "kevent" permitting 'catch syscall kevent' to catch both system calls and providing the expected user behavior for both old and new binaries. It also provides the expected behavior if GDB is compiled on an older host (such as a FreeBSD 11 host). gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Add entry documenting system call aliases. * break-catch-syscall.c (catch_syscall_split_args): Pass 'result' to get_syscalls_by_name. * gdbarch.sh (UNKNOWN_SYSCALL): Remove. * gdbarch.h: Regenerate. * syscalls/gdb-syscalls.dtd (syscall): Add alias attribute. * xml-syscall.c [!HAVE_LIBEXPAT] (get_syscalls_by_name): Rename from get_syscall_by_name. Now accepts a pointer to a vector of integers and returns a bool. [HAVE_LIBEXPAT] (struct syscall_desc): Add alias member. (syscall_create_syscall_desc): Add alias parameter and pass it to syscall_desc constructor. (syscall_start_syscall): Handle alias attribute. (syscall_attr): Add alias attribute. (xml_get_syscalls_by_name): Rename from xml_get_syscall_number. Now accepts a pointer to a vector of integers and returns a bool. Add syscalls whose alias or name matches the requested name. (get_syscalls_by_name): Rename from get_syscall_by_name. Now accepts a pointer to a vector of integers and returns a bool. * xml-syscall.h (get_syscalls_by_name): Likewise. gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Set Catchpoints): Add an anchor for 'catch syscall'. (Native): Add a FreeBSD subsection. (FreeBSD): Document use of system call aliases for compatibility system calls.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
